"It seemed Adrien Rabiot had given AC Milan a two-goal lead against Pisa on Friday night, but it was not to be, confusingly. Shortly after the half-time interval, Milan had the ball in the back of the net, and it seemed that they had put the game to bed. However, as has been the case regularly this season, it was not to be that simple."
"Instead, the goal was ruled out due to a handball from Niclas Fullkrug, who had just entered the pitch. A dubious decision and one that has left Milanello 'perplexed'. Incorrect decision? MilanNews24 relays words from Gazzetta dello Sport, which states that the footage does not really show any issue with Fullkrug's involvement. This is both the case for the live footage, as well as when the club have analysed the situation since."
Adrien Rabiot appeared to give AC Milan a two-goal lead against Pisa, but the goal was disallowed for a handball by substitute Niclas Fullkrug. Live match footage and subsequent club analysis show no clear issue with Fullkrug's involvement, with his arm kept close to his body and only minimal contact with the ball. Coaching staff and management judged that there was insufficient evidence to uphold the handball decision. Milanello described the call as perplexing and the overturned goal left a bitter taste among staff and supporters. A late Luka Modric goal reduced potential outrage by securing a crucial point.
